I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 821

Chapter 821: Let Them Collect Her Corpse for Her!

Zane made several calls on his way to South Park, but Yanis never answered her phone.

Meanwhile, at the thirty-second floor of South Park, thick smoke billowed out as the temperature caused the glass to shatter.

Shouts and cries filled the air below.

Some people called the police, while others called the fire department.

Security guards used megaphones to evacuate the residents from the building.

The entire South Park complex was in chaos.

Yanis felt as though she couldn't even breathe. The smoke filled her lungs, making her cough uncontrollably.

Neve lay there, finding it difficult to make out the photos on the wall through the smoke. She sat up and looked at Yanis, who was leaning against a cabinet. "Are you scared?"

Yanis tried to answer but ended up inhaling more smoke with a gasp.

The suffocating sensation prevented Yanis from uttering a word.

However, Neve seemed unaffected. She got off the bed and walked over to Yanis. "I know you're terrified. Are you waiting for Zane to come and save you?"

Yanis opened her eyes and looked at Neve, but her vision remained blurry.

Just as Yanis was about to give up, a loud banging on the door echoed through the room. Faintly, she could hear a voice that belonged to someone special.

Despite the cacophony, Yanis heard it.

Yanis suddenly burst into laughter.

After hearing Yanis's laughter, Neve looked at her. "What's so funny?"

"Zane is outside. Don't you want to see him?" Yanis replied.

Upon hearing Yanis's words, Neve furrowed her brow. "He can't possibly be here so quickly."

Yanis held her breath and slowly adjusted her breathing. "Neve, why did you suddenly want to die?"

Before Neve could respond, Yanis continued, "When I heard you were going to be released on bail, I was thinking that if... cough, if you were to come out, I wouldn't have anything to do with you anymore. We could each go our separate ways, without bothering each other..."

"Cough... But I never imagined that as soon as you got out, cough... cough..."

"You were so eager to drag me down with you, even at the cost of your own life. Is that worth it?"

Neve sneered, "With you accompanying me in death, what's not worth it?"

Yanis propped herself up and looked at Neve. "Deep down, you don't really want to die, do you?"

After staring at Yanis for a few seconds, Neve finally spoke, "Yanis, I suddenly regret it."

Yanis hadn't yet grasped the meaning behind Neve's regret when Neve pulled her up from the ground.

Due to inertia, Yanis bumped into the wall upon standing up. Neve caught her and dragged her towards the door.

The living room was now completely engulfed in flames.

Crackling sounds filled the air, and the banging on the door continued.

Using her last ounce of strength, Yanis grabbed onto Neve. "Be careful..."

After being pulled by Yanis, Neve looked down and saw broken glass on the floor. She was barefoot.

Neve glanced back at Yanis and then helped her sit on a nearby dining table chair. She then walked towards the door.

Due to the fire, the temperature in the room had risen significantly, compounded by the already hot weather. It felt like being trapped in a furnace, unbearably scorching.
